Knowledge bombs from “Training At The Speed Of Life” Instructor Training With Ken Murray
I got to spend last week going through Ken Murray’s “Training At The Speed Of Life” Reality Based Training instructor training at the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office training facility with Ken and his assistant and master instructor, Rick Furr. It’s a 5 day, 40 hour course that goes into training history, gunfight dynamics, how to…
The Myth Of Pointing Accuracy
There is a myth in shooting that people have been “pointing since they were babies” so they can point a gun and hit what they want to hit. The two statements “people have been pointing since babies” and “people can point shoot accurately” are both true, but they have no relation to each other. Pointing…
Is “Missing In Practice” the key to “Hitting In Combat?”
What if missing more in practice could help you hit more in combat or self-defense? It can…but only if you do it right. First off, we’ve got to define what a “hit” and “miss” is… If your standard is “hitting the paper” then all of these holes would be “hits.” None would be misses.…
Dueling As An Olympic Sport…Again? (Crazy story)
I have got a fun article for you today that’s somewhat timely with the Olympics coming up. Did you know that 32% of people polled before the Sydney Olympics wanted pistol dueling to be REINSTATED? Not “introduced,” but “reinstated.” As in, pistol dueling used to be an actual Olympic sport! There were actually 2 different…
How To Fix Flinch Fast
Flinch is one of the more frustrating problems that shooters face…both because of how it affects accuracy and because it can come back over-and-over through the years. Flinch normally creates a low pie shaped group, although it’s common for people to be dealing with multiple issues at the same time and to see groups that…
Smoother, Quicker Reloads with Colors & Shapes
What in the heck are these colors and shapes doing on my mags and in my magwells? They’re a hack to help you be smoother, more consistent, and quicker with your reloads. I’ll tell you all about them in the video here: Pretty cool, huh? 🙂 In summary… The colored marks in the magwell and…
“Falling With Style” The Power Of Kickstands and Cross-Steps
When we’re planning for bad self-defense scenarios, most of what we practice is based on the attacker and situation… “It would be really bad if I faced multiple attackers.” “It would be really bad if there wasn’t enough light.” “It would be really bad if my shooting hand was injured.” “It would be really bad…
Visual Patience for faster hits—how to take your time and be quick about it…
Talk about a contradiction in terms! How can you be patient in a hurry? And what is visual patience? Visual patience is simply waiting until you can see to take action. If you’re doing sighted shooting, it means waiting until you can see your sights to press the trigger…sometimes clearly, sometimes not. It means waiting…
3 Drills For Turning “fragile” Range Technique Into RESILIENT Self-Defense Technique
One of the widespread myths of self-defense shooting is that you need to have the right stance. It’s not a myth for bullseye, precision rifle, big bore, or long range pistol… And it’s not a myth for newer or less experienced shooters… But it is just a distraction for self-defense shooting. How can that be?…
Defending Against The “Illusion of Competency”
This may strike a nerve, but it’s a really important thing to understand. One of the biggest enemies of real-world performance is the belief that people have that they are “good enough” when they only really have a fraction of the skill they think they do. This is an issue with every skill, but it’s…
I want to give you instant access to a valuable PDF with 3 drills you can do with or without a pistol that will give you tighter, faster groups the next time you go to the range.
You’ll learn how to fix low-left groups, shoot better with both eyes open (even with cross-eye dominance) and make your sights come into immediate, automatic alignment with the target each time you draw.
